Hull City have seen their offer for Aberdeen's Scott McKenna dismissed by the Scottish Premiership club, but that's unlikely to be the end of City's interest.

Tigers' boss Nigel Adkins confirmed following his side's 0-0 draw with Reading that City had put in an offer for the 21-year-old defender, who has started to attract interest from a number of clubs following his performances this season.

Reports north of the border suggest Aberdeen have rejected City's bid, but having set their sights on trying to bring in the defender, City are expected to return with an increased offer in an attempt to try and force Aberdeen's hand.

Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes is eager to do all he can to keep hold of his young player, having made no secret of his desire to use McKenna as one of the players to build a side around.
